Dakota possesses the acreage,

who means to succeed has to do
from ten to twenty per cent more
work than he gets actual pay for.
This he has to do until he reaches
a certain point, and, having reached
tibet point, he will find that by as
much as his income has increased,
by so much has the demand for
amount and intensity of his labor
diminished. To put this theory in
so figures, we win say that a man
receiving twenty dollars q week
